the new lines - voyager program 1977 [Mattson Mini Modular & EMS Synthi]

YouTube Uploaded by hewstigator on Apr 22, 2011

"This track features two of our favorite synths, the ems synthi and the mattson mini modular working together to produce the electronic creaks and chirps in the background...

We considered using actual voyager footage but somehow shots of computers being sent into space... lacked the appropriate emotional impact...

single available on thenewlines.bandcamp.com
Split 7" with the still corners in the works via the great pop supplement"


mattson mini modular color changing lights relocated to the power panel (and playing part of a song)

YouTube Uploaded by hewstigator on Apr 29, 2011

"The point of this video is just to show where I relocated my color changing led lights from a prior video... since I used up the spots where my blanking panels used to be, I stuck the leds behind the power panel on the lower right... no other mods needed since the light shines through the panels as is (the aluminum behind the graphics have a 4x4 pattern pre-drilled).

The melody is just some draft song which we may complete later... to hear a full song please check out our recent video,

or thenewlines.bandcamp.com

There are some moogerfoogers shown also but only the freqbox is used to add some high melancholic overtones... I say melancholic because it is quite difficult to get the v/oct scaling just right so unless you hit the sync it will be a tiny bit out of tune but I like the effect...!

Although the mattson modular plays all of the parts of the song, the video only really shows it playing one of the melody lines since I only have one midi/cv converter and can only have it play one part at a time."

"A commissioned collaborative work by Arius Blaze and Ben Houston with Folktek Magnetic patchbay - live remixing the world. The Time Machine takes incoming sound, samples that sound (up to about four seconds) and twists it up however the player likes - in thousands of ways. Or it can be used for a real nasty delay with dub feedback in addition to the possibilties as a multi-osc. sound generator.

David Cockerell NAMM.org Video Interview

"David Cockerell designed one of the earliest synthesizers produced in the United Kingdom. The Synthi was introduced in the late 1960s by EMS Ltd. The unit, which came in a case with a KS keyboard, used patch cords to root reverb and ring modes. David also included two oscillators both with shape and level controllers as well as a frequency control. The design marked the beginning of many contributions to the industry over the years including his work on guitar effects pedals for Mike Matthews in the 1980s."
